Impacts on ecologically valuable Sample Clauses

Impacts on ecologically valuable species (a) An ‘ecologically valuable species’ is a native species that makes a significant contribution to national biodiversity due to factors such as: (i) it being a keystone species, meaning a species that provides an essential role in the ecosystem in which it resides. An example of a keystone species is a species of gum tree that provides an over-storey to a ▇▇▇▇ ecosystem and hence support for many animals, birds, invertebrates, soil microbes etc; or (ii) the phylogenetic distinctiveness of the species. For example, the cassowary, strangler fig, spinifex, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ grass, the Australian salamanderfish and the Australian lung fish. (b) This sub-criterion is met if the pest or disease would likely have a significant impact on the conservation status of an ecologically valuable species. (c) The following guideline will help with determining whether item 2.3(b) of this schedule is established: (i) An outbreak of a pest or disease will have a significant impact on the conservation status of an ecologically valuable species where it is likely that the outbreak will or could: (A) substantially modify (including by fragmenting habitats, altering fire regimes, altering nutrient cycles or altering hydrological cycles), displace, destroy or isolate a significant proportion of the habitat of an ecologically valuable species; or (B) seriously disrupt the lifecycle (breeding, feeding, migration or resting behaviour) of an ecologically significant proportion of the population of an ecologically valuable species.

Impacts on ecologically valuable places (a) An ‘ecologically valuable place’ is an area that: (i) makes a significant contribution to Australia’s natural environment; or (ii) meets national heritage listing criteria, as set out in the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and regulations; or (iii) are nationally-listed, ecological communities and RAMSAR wetlands covered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇. (b) This sub-criterion is met if the pest or disease would be likely to have a significant impact on the national heritage values of an ecologically valuable place.
